cactus- this is another winner! great music by john as always,. and is nice to see you embrace tha anti-shooter type gameplay,. the super sweet vector images remind me of Rip Off the classic arcade machine,. . but with out the shooting and the gameplay mechanic inverted,. makes for some good fun! I shall endevor to get high score tables in my future games,. as it does add some fun,. nice to see who is playing too. peace.

The question though remains... how many of the pictures above would look better on a Vectrex monitor?

Cactus, this is another spectacular game. It's addictive and fun and very easy to pick up and have a blast with. The music and background effects fit perfectly, and the difficulty scaling is handled very well.
